چکیده

The novel quaternary ammonium bromide (QAB)containing oligomers were synthesized and applied for developing an antibacterial resin composite. Compressive strength (CS) and S. mutans (an oral bacteria strain) viability were used to evaluate the mechanical strength and antibacterial activity of the formed composites. All the QAB-modified resin composites showed significant antibacterial activity and mechanical strength reduction. Increasing chain length and loading significantly enhanced the antibacterial activity but dramatically reduced the CS as well. The 30-day aging study showed that the incorporation of the QAB accelerated the degradation of the composite, suggesting that the QAB may not be well suitable for development of antibacterial dental resin composites or at least the QAB loading should be well controlled, unlike its use in dental glass-ionomer cements. The work in this study is beneficial and valuable to those who are interested in studying antibacterial dental resin composites.

Synthesis and antibacterial activity of quaternary ammonium salt-type antibacterial agents with a phosphate group.

Quaternary ammonium salts are frequently used as antibacterial agent that disrupts cell membrane through the binding of their ammonium cations to anionic sites in the outer layer tissue of bacteria. This article describes the synthesis of quaternary ammonium salt-type antibacterial agents with a phosphate group that strongly binds to hydroxyapatite and bromide ion as counterion. Evaluation of t...

A Novel Antibacterial Dental Resin Composite

This study reports the synthesis and evaluation of a novel furanone-containing antibacterial resin composite. Compressive strength (CS) and S. mutans viability were used to evaluate the mechanical strength and antibacterial activity of the composites. With 5% to 30% addition of the furanone derivative, the composite showed no change in CS but a significant antibacterial activity with a 16% 68% ...

Polyethyleneimine nanoparticles incorporated into resin composite cause cell death and trigger biofilm stress in vivo.

Incorporation of cross-linked quaternary ammonium polyethylenimine (QPEI) nanoparticles in dental resin composite has a long-lasting and wide antimicrobial effect with no measured impact on biocompatibility in vitro. We hypothesized that QPEI nanoparticles incorporated into a resin composite have a potent antibacterial effect in vivo and that this stress condition triggers a suicide module in t...

Antibacterial activity of a modified unfilled resin containing a novel polymerizable quaternary ammonium salt MAE-HB

Resins with strong and long-lasting antibacterial properties are critical for the prevention of secondary dental caries. In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial effect and the underlying mechanism of action of an unfilled resin incorporating 2-methacryloxylethyl hexadecyl methyl ammonium bromide (MAE-HB) against Streptococcus mutans UA159 (S. mutans UA159). MAE-HB was added into unfilled ...
